Come Over To My House - BOM 2009
Block 8 - Ann's First Home

Can you believe we are already over half way through the year? Block 8 is "Ann's First Home", named after my mother, whose first house was a yellow cracker box in Ames, Iowa. She loved that house!

To match our color scheme for block 8, you'll need yellow scraps for house, dark brown fabric for the roof and door, white or cream scraps for the windows, and brown or green scraps for the shutters, along with your sky/background fabric.

This pattern is no longer available free, but you can purchase it for $1.00 on my Patterns Page.

Remember that there is a series of video tutorials to help you with your roof triangles:

Cara's House 8 
I went a little crazy with the color on this house. I wanted it to look like tile. I hope it looks better in the quilt than it looks alone.

Pauline Esther's House Block 8
